About

We started Prosser Firewise because everyone in the ‘hood is concerned about similar things: Will my house survive a wildfire in the neighborhood? Will my homeowner’s insurance rates skyrocket next year? Will I get dropped by my insurance? Are there resources available to help clean up undeveloped lots and open space that’s become overgrown and hazardous?

We have joined other Truckee neighborhoods like Tahoe Donner and Glenshire/Devonshire in being recognized by the National Fire Protection Association® as a Firewise Community.

Benefits include:

• better protection of our homes, property, family, and neighbors from wildfire;
• safeguarding our forest, wildlife, and watershed; making evacuations safer; and
• potentially reducing insurance premiums (see insurers currently offering discounts).

As with Truckee’s existing firewise communities, the success of the Prosser Firewise Community depends on the voluntary involvement of our homeowners and residents. Getting involved is as easy as spending one hour a year doing yard cleanup and recording the time you invested on the Prosser Firewise Risk Reduction Form.
